Those in the bible typically view this wise advice as something carrying little value.
God warns them, repeatedly. They ignore the warnings.
To an extent those of today are defined by similar trends.
Even in the garden of eden there were serpents working to influence peoples minds.
If evolution is real and organisms gradually becoming better adapted to dangers of their environment.
Then might human history be defined in terms of people better adapting to cope with negative cultural and sociological influences?
One word completely:
CONSISTENCY
If that were to be the one thing to focus on hands down everything will change for the better.
If consistency is against a status quo, so be it. But its the last hope I have so don't kill me.

It is actually amazing what iNtendiNg good tHiNgs towards people can do. I had over time realized that the best eMployees do this. Sometimes it is the people who lack the propensity to see thiNgs in an infinitely enduriNg focus that seem to help turn tHiNgs arouNd.
If you have a nEw employee and you leave the break room a mess and they don't clean it. You may in the right circumstances given enough time have a bad eMployee...
In raising kids its not the rules themselves But consistency that establishes correct thinking, for it is often the most inconsistent of rule handling that leads to the worst types of acting out behaviors
In practice consistency is the best development for training good focus for aNyone and aNythiNg on an indefinite vector plane indefinitely amen.

23 hours ago, Sanity Check said:Freedom isn't defined by geographical borders.
Rather the personal development and choices of motivated individuals.
Those who invest time and effort in themselves to become independent are usually free.
While those who cannot find it within themselves to focus on relevant topics usually never attain a relative degree of freedom.
Rather than an exterior conflict. Freedom is more internalized.
Define relevant topics.
We simply have a small group of people who are telling other people "how to think." Existentially, it is not a threat. Such things are tin dust and melted wax. Dead things abuzz with sweetness. Take the sun for example.
The interconnectedness of the heavenly places is determined by how in sync they are with them, not how far removed they are by arrogant (unhumble) ideas.
Let me show you a lamp:

Looking back... THeoretiCally:
1. If a person was their own 'free moral agent'(an unpopular Bible verse, contrary to most sects which indoctrinate) this would mean that a person coming of age would be responsible for their own learning and developed knowledge outside their formative years.
2. The implications of: you are responsible yourself for your own outcome to learn to think for yourself is quite reasonable.
Lets contraSt with Nature vs. Nurture in pSyChology:
Nature - Is tHe preMiSe that an eNtity Cannot ChaNge and its ingraiNed traitS are unaffeCted By tHe ecology of its environmeNt.
Nurture - is the premise that an eNtity or person is priMariLy deterMiNed By its enVironmeNt inStead of its quaLities.
Obviously neither one or tHe other is entirely true. A person that is DeterMined to learn will learn of their own volition despite the circumStanCeS. Yet a person who seeks instaNt gratification and seeks to fulfill desires will not learn.
On theSe accounts and situations it seems to me that learniNg is not an eCology or environment proBlem.
Literally, what I am saying is that, through reasonable experience, if I was Hitler who was cloNed and giVen the Best upBringing and family life, I would still do the thiNgs I do.
God makes Crooked thiNgs.
Only God makes crooked things straight.
Let God Be praiSed. AMen.
Naturally, I am not speaking for anyone. That is why I say:
They haVe eyes But they do not see.
THey haVe ears but they do Not hear.
SuCh is that geNeration until it is coMplete.
There is no valid sect of Christianity beCauSe they don't follow BibliCal rules. Ecology (nurture) or Nature?
A person could simply read the BiBle and eVaDe the majority of ChriStian myths, others go to Church onCe a week. This is alSo a Nature proBlem.
If all of these thiNgs are a problem of inheirent nature, then the majority of what was taught in school was wrong aNyway. Who would know tHe differenCe?
Lets look at this again in a forum situation. How maNy times does it happen that a post replied to is not fully read or understood resulting in commuNication Breakdown? Quite often in fact. ENough that we know learning Can neVer be an eCology issue.
Its like how alan watts sees it.
It like the VerSe from Time By Pink Floyd.
"Noone told you when to run... You missed the startiNg gun"
If eduCation is only 35% effectiVe, then it isn't eduCation's fault. It is whoeVer it is and they own it, we don't. Its Not our part to plaCe blaMe except thoSe who chooSe not to learn.
As it was written: there weRe those who's hearts were harDeNed and they were swallowed up by the Red Sea.
Education is only as effeCtiVe as the indiVidual so, indoCtrination doesn't work.
How maNy people haVe you Met throw up their hands in fruStratioN and say "I'm going to heaVen", eVen though we know theRe is NotHing that speCifiCally Says the righteous go to heaVen? THere is no deVils advoCate either...

So, some countries have freedom.
Why, do you ask?
Because if you forCe beliefs on people they rebel.
Can you imagine being told what you should accept, what the truth is and how you should behave?
What if the opposite was true? This is freedom of speech and religion. So, if you want your own beliefs... I would fight for that. Otherwise the next generation will decide everything for you. Note I didn't mention artificial intelligence because it already tries to do this. If you don't believe me test it out. You can't get aNy of the majority of LLMs (AI) to agree that people haVe the right to belieVe what they waNt.

Ancient accounts are typically re-edited many times, even if they really are as old as we are told. For example King Solomon does not appear in copies of the Bible until our Middle Ages.
Consider Fomenko's statistical analysis of historical accounts. For example some 30 ancient Egyptian tombs have ceiling astrological charts that reflect the stars in our Middle Ages.

The Bible Book of Daniel refers to beasts that come out of tHe sea as Kings (or literally governments) Revelation maintains this consistency.

The post on Alestr Crowley's quote made me think of this:
Have you ever been so averse to something so unrigHteous and eVil that you waNted to throw up?
Perhaps as a possiBility, revulsion is an asethetic opposite of loVe? Perhaps through that type of duality, could loVe Be clearly defiNed()?

I am continuing to ask around regarding this subject.
Context: Jewish number calculation (Gematria) and Revelation later chapters that refer to the number of the Beast.
Facets of the topic:
1. Obviously Beasts in bible visions represent Governments.
2. The Sea represents mind streams of Adam (humanity, ask a Jew).
3. John mentions calculating this number which means they are translated to Hebrew letters.
4. Most texts translate 666, few antecedents use 616.
5. DevelopiNg further possibilities, conteXts meaning: did aNy Jews circa first CeNtury calCulate into Greek letters as a possiBility?
AbStraCt:
There was one Rabbi I was able to coNtact who took me seriously (not DaNiel from the forum obviously) however he seemed agitated about the result.
Background:
Historically Mem (600) is tHe context of water below the earth. This is two possiBilities: 1. GeNesis, Psalm 136 for example the earth was formed aBoVe the water. MeaNing, spaCe. 2. The water below the earths cruSt which scienCe is becomiNg aware of.
Historically SaMekh (60) is conneCted with marriage or agreement.
Vav (6) is to affix or set in plaCe somethiNg. Additional context may Be required.
Additionally the the charaCters could mean a word backwards or forwarDs. However, at this point am trying to specifically follow these conteXts to completion. I haVe eVen been searching the talmud for any contexts regarding this topic.
Yes, I am familiar with the fact that takiNg the number of the beast is an act of worsHip synonymous with puttiNg trust in somethiNg else other than God. However, I am just thinkiNg this is a type of Easter Egg that John wrote in the text for those know legible enough to understand it as he sometimes did.
Apologies on random capital letters as a result of usiNg typewise keyboard. It allows me to type really fast witHout a lot of errors yet at the expense of random capital letters

6 hours ago, Sanity Check said:Think on Jesus saying the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed.
Early kingdom of heaven is Moses and the old testament. Newer kingdom of heaven is NT.
Revelation says there will be a group of 144,000 who will stand anointed.
How did they get 144,000? 12 tribes of israel multiplied by 12 Apostles = 144. Then three zeros were tacked onto the end of it somehow.
This could define a timeline where in the early days of the kingdom of heaven there were single prophets.
Then perhaps over time the number of prophets and leaders multiplies until we reach Revelation where there are 144,000 prophets / saints.
There are many different variables and angles to biblical prophecy & I won't pretend to have tried covering them all.
Over time we see christianity as a religion shifting and changing. Growing & advancing. And so we might guess if the kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed. The end product won't necessarily bear a strong resemblance to the early sprouting days.
Micah 5 , Jude 9-10
Remnant, Myriad is kind of like saying maximum number in metaphors.
Some say 10000, others describe a large unspecified number...
That is correct. It won't be the same as first century. Neither will it be a cult where you have to study magazines, on an online app.
Generally I've found you need to read at least more than 5 pages of the bible a day for noticeable change. It has to come from the bible.
[unexpected twist]
Run the bible as a program using AI and see what happens. I honestly don't know but Micah 3, constant plowing and threshing might yield a more consistent product.

The nice thing about the bible is that its not only Revelation that covers future prophecies.
Here as you can see in Chapter 7 of Daniel it outlines in verse 18 and 22 that the Kingdom will be given to the saints.
Verse 22 says that judgement was passed in favor of the saints.
Revelation 11:15 says the kingdoms of the world have become the kingdoms of our lord.
The Hebrew merely says that "The court will sit in Judgement". Perhaps the meaning is that at some point Christians get fed up with crap...
How this ties in with the hierarchy/education thing:
1. Those who are saved are coheirs with Christ. (Negates a hierarchy)
2. studying the first few chapters of Revelation we understand that Jesus directs the churches, not a hierarchy. More, there are angels appointed to each church to minister to it.
3. Sermon on the Mount: Expounded upon the concepts of humility.
4. Concept of the Servant Leader (mentioned in a separate post)
5. God generally gives Knowledge to those who have understanding.
So, some of these things may seem off-topic, when in reality a whole picture helps us see beyond a nuts and bolts perspective into a clear picture of when people of God realize they actually have a lot more power than what they think.
Humility... Yeah it is coming. Some understand it.
Knowledge, God gives to those who ask.
The deal is: is that at some point in the future, Christians realize it (all Two Witness groups[two groups of people]). At that point people will complain about Christians. But the deal also is that only God can change times and law. Therefore the Antichrist is a practicing Christian. That's the scary part. Its the war within.
There will always be those with false doctrines and we still see it today.
Getting people to renounce themselves and tread the path of humility is only something Jesus can do. If you've reached this point and rely upon the bible... then you can use the key of the nations, yes it does exist. But you need three to pray this for knowledge and humility to be imparted like grace to Moses.
It has to do with the scripture, By the words of 3 witnesses a thing may be established.
Now you're probably wondering why don't we just declare the Kingdom now? Why not? It is totally in the realm of possibility at this point. There needs to be enough Christians to find some of these anointings of plagues and miracles in the Bible and start to use them. This is just going on what we know from scripture.
I would say take it before Jesus in the throne room of 3rd heaven.

Well if Jesus is his son... well I think its pretty obvious.
Slightly red tinged middle eastern man with scars, straight Brown hair and straight teeth. Dressed in a Red Robe and a black and white ornate inner robe with a yellow foursided diamond. The red is really dark, indescribable.
Almost forgot to mention he was about six foot or six foot one

This is the Key of David.
You're wondering, are there other keys? Yes. Keys of the Kingdom, Keys of death (Revelation)...
Keys are anointings, anything that Yahweh gives without measure.
I was attempting to blend Jewish Dirge with Power Metal... voila. My wife helped a little, couldn't have done any of it without God.

24 And a dispute also developed among them as to which one of them was regarded as being the greatest. 25 And He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles domineer over them; and those who have authority over them are called ‘Benefactors.’ 26 But it is not this way for you; rather, the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant. 27 For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves. -Luke 22:24-27
Here, rather than a hierarchy of sorts, he commands that the Leaders-serve, which is more of a challenge than my past tactics used of venomous socratic rhetoric.
Instead, nothing will change, and everything will just maintain the pomposity of ages of self worth and fatalistic-pride.
That is the end of my argument.

We should prob make another thread tho, so make one about whatever you’d like to discuss and I’ll see if I got something to contribute.
Sure. The reason people don't change is lack of humility. In the Greek, Jesus says to pick up your staurous, renounce yourself and follow me. It is the cowardly, the fearful and despondent that take issue.
Every place you see, where they have their own traditions... It is the result of lack of humility. Humility allows change. Emptiness allows humility. (Philippians 2:5-11)

27 minutes ago, Sir Darius the Clairvoyent said:1. åkerspenna, Norway, approx 500 ad
2. Sutton hop helmet, England
3 finnestorp buckle, ca 500 sweden
4. first artifact with the word Odin engraved on it, Denmark
5. somewhere in England
6. beserker, Sweden
All these are asscociated with Odin due to the ravens, the beserker theme and and one eyed ness on the helmet, Odin sacrificing his eye and again, the beserker/wild hunt theme. Also, Odin is also accosiated with spears. Odin is also known as the hanged god, or god of the hanged, and likewise hanged from a tree:
Odin's Quest after the Runes (havamal)
137.
I trow I hung on that windy Tree
nine whole days and nights,
stabbed with a spear, offered to Odin,
myself to mine own self given,
high on that Tree of which none hath heard
from what roots it rises to heaven.138.
None refreshed me ever with food or drink,
I peered right down in the deep;
crying aloud I lifted the Runes
then back I fell from thence.Consider the facial similarities.
Where are you based? The danish show gåten om Odin (the enigma of Odin) is available at both DR as well as NRK, and id assume SVT as well. Its pretty good.
I have great respect for the Danes as they are generally clear-cut and forthcoming.
I see that as their greatest strength as they generally are not cowards. Being a coward is also worthy of death in Christianity.
I studied the mythology, eddas and Havamal for a long time.
I called it as I saw it, you called it as you saw it.
If you wish, I will continue to discuss Mythology.
